Mary Anne Reynolds es una joven vulnerable que está decidida a abrirse paso en la vida a su manera, pero Pacific Park, a principios de los años cincuenta, con su rígida actitud moralista respecto a las costumbres sexuales y sus prejuicios raciales, no ofrece muchas oportunidades ni tampoco le permite mucha libertad de movimiento. Uma obra que se apresenta como uma ruptura do que era o género que este autor nos apresentou na sua carreira, mas que na sua essência traz uma ênfase dramática sobre o crescimento da personagem principal, Mary, com 20 anos, que nos transmite uma angst tão intensa e poderosa quanto os filmes dramáticos da década de 50, brilhantemente retratada neste livro. Mary tem um pai que foi um pouco longe de mais com ela, é poderosa, decidida e não decidida e vive dramaticamente cada dia sem saber o que quer, mas como conhecimento de Joseph Schilling como de loja de música e um negro, a vida dela desenrola-se e a transforma-se até ela se conseguir libertar dela própria e das paranóias e medos que a atormentam diariamente. Não Sf mas um drama de época soberbo. On the back cover it says "Mary Anne Reynolds is one of the most convincing and sympathetic characters Dick ever created." That sentence fills me with dread, because Mary Anne is one of the worst characters I've ever come across in a book. She has all the symptoms of a psychopath. She's selfish, manipulative and really rude to everyone she doesn't need at the moment. And she uses people to get what she wants, all the time. So if this person is "the most convincing and sypathetic" then I don't think I want to know the other ones. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

An early and daring novel from the Hugo Award-winning author about a young woman caught up in the glamor and dangers of 1950s California Mary Anne Reynolds is young, vulnerable, and looking for love in Pacific Park, California. During her brief affairs with a middle-aged record shop owner and then a black blues singer, she seems to only succeed in offending the people living in the small-town of Pacific Park, both by her choice of lifestyle and choice of suitors. And while she stumbles through her various relationships and faces her overwhelming need to get out of town, Mary Anne shines as a "forerunner of the liberated sixties woman" (Library Journal) in this novel by the late prolific novelist, Philip K. Dick. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
